An Important Message from Rep. Aaron Schock's Abs

Men and women of the legislature, put down your Big N’ Toasties! America’s Lil’est Congressman has a very important message for you about exercise and eating well. And the only way to deliver it was, in the tradition of the world’s great leaders, by exposing his broad, sculpted chest, washboard abs, and muscular thighs…

[Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL) is] focused on major issues that will affect his own generation the most: energy and the environment, the budget deficit, spiraling health-care costs, and a growing obesity crisis.

And that’s certainly what I’m thinking about as my eyes gloss over the words like so much hot oil. But Schock explains that he did the Men's Health article to raise awareness about rising health-care costs — and for that, we owe him.

With all the vanity and thinly veiled PR moves flung around Washington these days, who stops to consider health care? It’s a sneaky elephant in the room, and Rep. Schock, we thank you for this bold, strategic move.
